Apple’s $1 billion data center in North Carolina powers iTunes and iCloud. We told you in October about a 174-acre solar farm Apple reportedly started building to power the new Maiden, N.C., data center facility. Surrounding the facility will be the largest end user–owned onsite solar array in the United States. It will consist of a 100-acres and a 20-megawatt facility to provide approximately 42 million kWh of clean, renewable energy each year....

As a result of a supply shortage, new automobile sales in Australia fell in October. Despite large portions of the country being released from Covid-19-induced lockdown, just 74,650 new cars were sold in October, a decline of more than 8% from the same month in 2020. The drop in sales is due to a supply shortage caused by a lack of semiconductors, a critical component in modern vehicles. After a disastrous year in 2020, the new car market is set to surpass one million sales in 2021 for the first time since 2009....

Conversion apps feel like a design playground, with so much potential for uniqueness and variety in their interfaces. The trend has been towards multifunction, multi-purpose Swiss-army knife apps that attempt to cover a whole range of disparate measurements. In my experience, as a result of racing to add one more ratio to their feature list, the simplicity of these apps suffer. Currency sidesteps this battleground entirely and, as the name implies, focuses solely on converting amounts of money....

Readdle’s app Documents has long been one of the most complete solutions for managing your files on the go.

While the tech industry is still in the middle of a transition to USB-C, it can be easy to wind up with lots of various charging bricks and adapters. Leviton’s Type A & Type C USB Charger/Receptacle caught our eye as a way to simplify our digital lives, so we went hands-on with the handy wall outlet. Between fast charging with a USB-C to Lightning cable, the mix of USB-C supported accessories, and the likelihood this year’s iPhones will ship with a USB-C power adapter, the new standard is slowly but surely expanding beyond devices like Apple’s MacBook and MacBook Pro....

I tend to like my headphone designs much like my audio quality: neutral. But if you prefer something a little more visually interesting, you will often find yourself being forced to choose between audio quality and looks. That’s a problem V-Moda set out to solve with its Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex Edition headphones … We’ll get into the audio quality shortly – for now I’ll just say that the brand is much favored by DJs, and while the tuning isn’t absolutely to my taste, they deliver a solid performance....

A reviewer managed to fool the ‘attention check’ performed by Face ID on the iPhone X, which is intended to ensure that you are looking at the phone. It did, however, require a very unusual combination of circumstances … A colleague of Gizmodo’s Alex Cranz was able to successfully unlock the phone using her face while she had her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. This should only be possible if you choose to switch off attention-detection in the settings....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker box office projections fall a bit more following the mixed reviews. Even before word-of-mouth started to spread, the film was poised to have the lowest opening weekend of the sequel trilogy, with predictions indicating a debut in the range of $175-210 million. At the time, the hope was those were just conservative estimates that would steadily increase after The Rise of Skywalker started screening and the reactions hit....

The legal battle between Apple and Qualcomm drags on. After Apple accused the chipmaker of ‘double-dipping‘ by charging once for a chip and again for a patent license, Qualcomm has hit back. Qualcomm’s response to Apple’s latest filing says that Apple wouldn’t even have been able to make an iPhone without its patented technology, reports CNET. At the heart of the dispute is that Qualcomm refuses to sell its modem chips to any manufacturer unless the company also pays a licence fee for its patents....

Based on the book series and subsequent video game series, The Witcher television show focuses on Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter who struggles to find his place in this world while battling both monsters and the people who can be just as wicked as the beasts he takes down. In the Netflix series, there are many incredible fight scenes that are cinematic masterpieces. But the real question is how do they fare when comparing them to the fight scenes that we’ve read in the books?...

The data has been gathered by Trellix – formerly McAfee Enterprise and FireEye – from detected attacks between July and September 2021, a period when some of the most high-profile ransomware attacks of the past year happened. According to detections by Trellix, banking and finance was the most common target for ransomware during the reporting period, accounting for 22% of detected attacks. That’s followed by 20% of attacks targeting the utilities sector and 16% of attacks targeting retailers....

Last week, users in China mysteriously saw the iTunes Movies Store and iBooks Store shut down. At the time, it was unclear why the services went down, but now, The New York Times reports that the two stores were ordered to shut down by the Chinese State Administration of Press, Publication, Film, and Television. Originally, Apple had received approval to launch the iTunes Movie and iBooks Stores in China, but the Chinese State Administration of Press, Publication, Film, and Television reportedly just recently came into the situation and ordered that they shut down....

Touch ID brought major changes to how people unlock their iPhones, but it doesn’t appear as if Apple is stopping there. We initially reported that Apple was developing an eye scanning technology back in 2014, but a new report today says the capability could be launching to the public as soon as 2018. According to a report from DigiTimes, Apple is set to release an iPhone with iris scanning capabilities in 2018....

We learned yesterday that Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission has approved the sale of two unreleased iPhones, specifically with the model numbers A1524 & A1586, ahead of the expected announcement on September 9th. Confirmation of the approval for the new iPhone models was even publicized via Twitter by the NBTC’s Secretary General in addition to being discussed on video. Whether or not the two new model numbers point to the 4....

Apple Watch Series 2 hit stores on Friday and I’ve spent the weekend testing its new features. From outdoor cycling and swimming in the ocean to comparing it to the first-generation Apple Watch, I had my own list of questions I wanted answered and I’m mostly happy with my experience. I used the first-generation Apple Watch every single day since April 2015 and reviewed it in May 2015 after a couple of weeks....

UPDATE: Joel Kulina, the Wedbush Securities analyst quoted by MarketWatch, has since refuted the quote, saying it was misquoted in a follow-up inquiry from GameSpot. Kulina stated “there is nothing to this story that I’ve seen,” debunking the rumor. The original story follows. Just a day after Microsoft confirmed it would be bringing one of its most treasured IPs to Steam, new rumors have emerged that suggest Sony could be fairly close to acquiring Take-Two Interactive....

Feral Interactive has announced that it is porting the strategy game Rome: Total War – Alexander from Windows to the iPad sometime this summer. The iPad version of the original Rome: Total War – Alexander game is already available, alongside Barbarian Invasion … The Windows version was developed by Creative Assembly some 15 years ago, and became one of the most successful PC games of all time. Alexander is set a century before its predecessor....

While most of the press about the royal family lately has been about Meghan and Harry following the release of Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, this time it’s Queen Elizabeth II herself who is making waves. In a bold progressive move, the monarch has decided that, moving forward, all new clothing will be made using fake fur. Members of the royal family have taken heat for their choice to continue to wear fur long after the public sentiment toward doing so had soured....
